Re: [wsjt-devel] OS X Audio Device Issues

2017-09-24 Thread Larry Gadallah
I can now report that on my older MacBookPro 8,2 (early 2011) laptop
running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, this problem no longer occurs.

However, I noticed in some earlier postings on the WSJT list, there
was some speculation that this might be caused by some interaction
between the SiLabs CP210x USB serial port driver and the USB codec
driver. I have seen messages in the log like this that indicate the
possible presence of this problem:

9/24/17 11:22:49.000 kernel[0]: WARNING: AppleUSBAudio has detected
that a connected USB audio device is sending too much audio data.
9/24/17 11:22:49.000 kernel[0]: WARNING: This USB audio device may not
function properly. Please notify the device manufacturer.

The newest versions of that driver (5.0 and later) were updated for OS
X 10.11 and later. Anyone trying this trick on OS X 10.10 and earlier
would have to use the earlier 4.x versions of the SiLabs driver, so it
may have more to do with the SiLabs driver than the OS X version?

I'm contemplating bumping up to Yosemite (OS X 10.10) and seeing what happens.

Uncheck "lock RX with TX" and that should do it

[wsjt-devel] No QSY

2017-09-24 Thread Pino Zollo
Hi,


I would like to click on a CQ line, get all the information but the
frequency...

i.e. answering on my actual frequency...not on the caller frequency.

The same on a line of a station that is ending a previous QSO.

Is there any way ?

Re: [wsjt-devel] OS X Audio Device Issues

2017-09-24 Thread Larry Gadallah
Hi all:

I can now report that, thanks to having access to another Apple
laptop, that the combination of WSJT-X v1.8.0-rc2 r8069 and:

- OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
- MacBookPro11,4 (Mid 2015)

works fine with the USB Codec in the IC-7300 and the SiLab CP210x USB
serial drivers.

I have reverted my older MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, and I'm
going to try it next and see if this is a software or a hardware
issue. I did see many reports of people using all sorts of USB audio
devices having increasing problems with the Yosemite -> El Capitan ->
Sierra progression, particularly with the older hardware.
